But I've had some stuff going in my personal life and I just felt I couldn't give all I'd like to blogging. But I'm back now. (I think, it's a little early to tell!) Great post, Donna! And as for re-reads...I can't even tell you how many times I read the Twilight books when I was in that phase!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020068734951560115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-15504690211343427802013-06-28T14:52:37.590-04:002013-06-28T14:52:37.590-04:00I love re-reading Julia Quinn books and haven'...I love re-reading Julia Quinn books and haven't re-read one in a while. But I am starting to feel the burn now too. I just can't help but ask for requests of books I'm anticipating and can't wait for. I agree that there are so many books that are coming out that I want to read but haven't, especially with my ever growing pile of to be read books. But then again I have stop reading for like about a week to two weeks now and is behind on my reading and reviewing. I've just been watching movies and other things online to take up the time. kiphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919376931169982458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-71700705351286200902013-06-27T16:32:42.472-04:002013-06-27T16:32:42.472-04:00Donna! This is so how I feel right now! I've d...Donna! This is so how I feel right now! I've decided not to accept any books or requests to review until at least October for now. I love to read, I'm a veracious reader, but even I can't read 5 books in a week. Ugh! I love books, I love indie authors and I love, love, love to read, but how long ago did I read just to relax? I can't even remember. The worst thing? Most of the books I've been reading to review I've decided not to write that review, but instead tell the author to wait with their release and do some work on it. Anyway.great post! Great advice! And you know what's the best thing? I'm actually reading a book right now that makes it all worth while! :-) I'm so happy with indies and the good fortune to be in a position to read their work first, when I come across a perl like this. So even when I feel a burn-out coming I'll still read, even if it's like you re-read that one book. (In my case The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
